    - Women fighting for free, safe and legal abortion: Justyna Wydrzyńska - Poland, Morena Herrera - El Salvador and Colleen McNichols - United States, nominated by The Left.

    Background and next steps

    Every year in September, MEPs and political groups nominate candidates for the Sakharov Prize.

    Signed nominations accompanied by supporting evidence are then assessed in a joint meeting of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI) and the Committee on Development. A shortlist of three candidates is drawn up in a vote by the Foreign Affairs and Development committees, and then submitted for a final decision to the Conference of Presidents (EP President Metsola and political group leaders).

    The winner will be announced in October and the award ceremony will take place during the December plenary sitting in Strasbourg.
